Re: Behringer line array
Dear Othmane (and all),
thank you for your comment and for considering our products.
As stated earlier, the delivery of the ELX line array has been substantially postponed due to the recent acquisition of Turbosound. The sudden and unexpected access to high-end acoustic engineering resources from Turbosound made us decide to redesign the project.
We understand and apologize that we may have disappointed some customers, however we are not aware of any projects where the ELX product line was designed in and the subsequent delay caused any problems.
It is our company philosophy that we will not compromise on quality and if we have an opportunity to improve a product we will do so even if this means sarificing sales.
The X32 is an example where we deliberately delayed shipping in order to incorporate a new Midas-designed peamp and also an additional six month road test which was concluded with the help of 20 professional rental and install sound companies who "tortured" the product under the toughest road conditions. While no major issues surfaced, it was worth the additonal time and the product was later introduced without any major problems. With over 20,000 units sold to date, it is now the number one selling digital mixing console in the industry.
We are hoping for an equally successful market introduction for the re-designed ELX line array which we have scheduled for a Q1/Q2 re-launch. However since we cannot confirm a definite date, we would recommend you to design-in other products if your project has a critical timeline.
You might also want to look at the Turbosound products which have received highest accolades in the industry. Among many awards, the Flashline line array for example just received the prestigious Queen's Award for Innovation.
Again thank you for your patience and I wish everyone wonderful holidays and a blessed 2013.
Warm regards
Uli
